I enjoyed the story line and having not read the other books in the series I was still able to understand and follow everything.
Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to finish reading it in time, but still enjoyed it a lot.
Recommend it.
Let me tell you, Dragon Born hooked me from the first page! Donna Grant returns us to the enthralling world of Dragon Kings, which is as magical and intense as ever. Henry, a former MI5 agent, discovers his actual heritage and is captivated to the powerful and alluring Melisse, the Dragon Queen. Their chemistry is off the charts—imagine fire and brimstone combined with a lot of heart!
What I particularly like was the extensive world-building; the realms of dragons, Fae, and ancient magic are well depicted. The suspense and action had me on the edge of my seat, especially when Henry faced looming dangers to defend Melisse. If you appreciate a hot romance full of adventure, Dragon Born is a must-read! I eagerly await more from this series!
I love Donna Grant’s books! I thought this book was really good! I liked the characters and the story. A good book!
I requested this book without realizing that it was not the first in the series. The series sounds very interesting and something that I would like so I will be adding it to my TBR!
I definitely requested this without realizing it was the 8th in a series. Regardless, I powered through and did enjoy it enough that I will go back and read the first 7 books to catch up.
I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.
It was an amazing read, a little late on the review as I had to reread it!
The story line was actually the best part as it was really well told.
I love anything with dragons and this was such a good read read it super fast and couldn’t put it down thank you so much for the arc
Definitely did not realize this was the 8th in the series, but I thought it was good regardless! I’ll have to go back and read the first 7 books
Before even starting the feedback I must acnowledge my fault, that I did not realise that this bok was 8th in the series. So it already had a wholw 7 books worth of story and world building before this. The writing and the story seemed very easy flowing but the fact that I dudn't know anything about the world so was confused. I do plant in changing that by stsrting from book 1.
I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review. NetGalley
Interesting and fast read
I did not realize this was 8th book in a series. Second chance, romances with protagonists Henry andMelissa. Who are fighting against a dark Druid. The writing was very detailed and a little stilted, but overall it was cute romance read. I would highly recommend starting with the first book in the series before reading this one.
Donna Grant never dissapoints, this like her other books certainly didnt again. She is amazing a creating characters that you also love to hate. Her dragons and worlds are just a pleasure to read and I will always pick up a Donna book when I see one knowing I will have a great time reading. Anyone who hasn't yet read her books needs to run... not walk and grab some.
When I asked for this ARC read I didn't know this was book 8 in a series. Even though I didn't read the prior book, I really liked this one.
It was packed with action and suspense and the whole story had me hooked! I should have read the other books first, and I definitely will after this. I was missing a lot of background information to really understand the book, but I still really enjoyed the book!
With that in mind I would 100% recommend this book, it's an amazing read!
Finally! Henry gets to have his HEA too! He has been starring in a lot of stories of both the Dark King and the Reaper series. Already in 2018 I read in Heat that Henry’s sister, Esther, found her mate Nikolai. And now, six years later, and a new realm further, it is time for Henry to find his mate.
Henry feels that he needs to go to Zora, although he is not allowed to go there. But as the Justice Bringer, he just knows that he has to go there, because something bad will happen, if he doesn’t go there. Upon arrival, he realizes that it is Melisse, the dragon queen of the violets, who is in trouble. And although they have a history where Melisse has made it clear, she doesn’t feel something for the ‘mere human’, Henry comes to her rescue, when she has been trapped in a magic forest.
The story is a bit slow, because the most part of the book is in the magic forest. But still, Donna knows how to capture her audience. And of course, she has some surprises for us along the way. Five out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.
Didn’t realize this was part of a series, but I followed along pretty well as a standalone! This book was a fast read for me and enjoyable. I will def have to check out the other books now!
I would like to thank #NetGalley and #DonnaGrant for letting me read an ARC of Dragon Born.
Another book in the Dragon Kings series and Donna Grant has hit it out of the park with this continuation of the story between Melisse and Henry.
Donna's world building is full of vivid images and she does an amazing job of walking us through the novel and series. I highly suggest that every fantasy reader read this book and this series.
#DragonBorn
And at last Henry, the truth seeker gets a chance in love, with no other than his Dragon Fae Melisse. Another interesting story on Zora, is about finding yourself and accepting the love that is given. Lovely intense interesting story that will continue.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgalley
I requested this title because I am a sucker for dragons. I did not realize Dragon Born was part of a series, Dragon Kings. Regardless, I found it only slightly difficult to enter the series at this point. I would definitely recommend reading the series from the start, which I plan to do, I would like more background information and interactions between Henry and Melisse that happened prior to this story. I am a little intimidated that this is the 8th book and I have a lot to catch up on.
That being said, Donna Grant is a phenomenal writer. The world building and character development were exceptional. I loved feeling fully immersed in the story, even without prior knowledge of what has happened. I would absolutely recommend this book and will likely read it again.
This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.
What a great addition to the Dragon Kings - a Dragon Queen!
Melisse has always either been a prisoner of the mountain and the Dragon Kings or a prisoner of her own making when she feels that she does not fit in with either the Fae (her mother's side) or the Dragon Kings (her father's side) or even with the dragons on Zora. Henry also feels on the outside as he doesn't even have any Druid powers as the JusticeBringer. Yet, when Henry feels that Melisse is in trouble, he does not hesitate to get to her using any means necessary!
The majority of their story is the journey to get out the mess of thorns and brambles that Melisse had gone into to rescue a young dragon. As they traverse this wasteland and find that it is poison to dragons, Henry must be the strong leader that he knows he is but always overshadowed by the strength of the Dragon Kings. Here, he finds magic and strengths that he didn't even know he could possess.
Secrets are revealed when they make it out but that does not mean the battle is over, there is always more to take care of and it is the strength of Henry and some of the Dragon mates that are needed where the Dragon Kings are not able to go.
The last part of the book is such a tease - I want to see what is going on with Merrill!!
As someone who loves any books having to do with dragons I loved everything about this book. The romance, the characters, the storyline, the world building were all top notch,
